Cold Roast Salmon with Smashed Green Bean Salad image

Roasting salmon low and slow yields fish that stays moist and tender even when served chilled. A raw green bean salad is a perfect crunchy accompaniment; our trick for smashing and marinating the beans softens their texture and flavors them inside and out.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Seafood     Fish     Salmon     Green Bean     Radish     Lemon     Dinner     Summer     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 1/2-3 3/4-lb.) whole side of salmon
7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for serving
4 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, divided
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 lb. green beans, trimmed
1 bunch radishes, preferably French breakfast, trimmed
1 cup coarsely chopped salted, roasted pistachios
Freshly ground black pepper
Flaky sea salt
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Lemony Yogurt Sauce and/or Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Place salmon on a rimmed baking sheet and rub 2 Tbsp. oil over each side. Season all over with black pepper, 2 tsp. kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes. Arrange skin side down and roast until a tester, metal skewer, or thin-bladed knife inserted laterally through salmon flesh meets no resistance, 20-25 minutes. (Fish should be opaque throughout and just able to flake.) Let cool.
  • While salmon is roasting, make the salad. Whisk lemon juice, 3 Tbsp. oil, 2 tsp. kosher salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes in a large bowl to combine. Set dressing aside.
  • Working in batches, place green beans in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and whack beans with a rolling pin to split the skins and soften the insides without completely pulverizing the flesh. Place in bowl with reserved dressing. Toss, massaging with your hands to break beans down further and coat. Let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour.
  • Thinly slice radishes lengthwise. Place in a large bowl of ice water, cover, and chill until ready to serve (this will allow you to get the prep out of the way and keep the radishes crisp and firm).
  • Just before serving, drain radishes and toss with marinated green beans. Add pistachios; taste salad and season with pepper if needed. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Using 2 spatulas, carefully transfer salmon to another platter, leaving skin behind on baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and squeeze juice from a lemon wedge or two over; sprinkle with sea salt. Serve with more lemon wedges and Lemony Yogurt Sauce and/or Grilled Serrano Salsa Verde alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Salmon can be roasted and green beans can be marinated 1 day ahead; cover and chill separately. About 45 minutes before serving, remove green beans from the fridge and let sit at room temperature to warm up a bit. Radishes can be sliced 1 day ahead; keep chilled.

ROAST SALMON WITH SPICED COCONUT CRUMBS



Roast Salmon With Spiced Coconut Crumbs image

Another great recipe from the 'Good Food' magazine (January 2003). This dish was created by Sara Buenfeld as part of a New Year's day buffet with a touch of Indian glamour. The recipe for this lightly spiced salmon serves 8, but can easily be adapted to serve any number really. It can be part of a buffet or served on individual plates. It is great for entertaining because it's impressive, not much work is involved, and you can prepare the salmon up to a day ahead. I will soon post the suggested side dishes to the salmon (Potato salad with curried mayo / Chicory and orange salad with ginger dressing).

ingredients
2 large limes
1/3 cup very thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 small jalapeño-halved, seeded and very thinly sliced crosswise
2 tablespoons canola oil
Pinch of sugar
Sea salt
Four 6-ounce center-cut skinless salmon fillets
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • directions 1. Preheat the oven to 425°. Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the limes; be sure to remove all of the bitter white pith.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in an ovenproof skillet until shimmering. Season the fillets on both sides with salt and pepper and add to the skillet, skinned side up.

Transfer to 4 dinner plates, spoon the salsa on top and serve.

  • Preheat your oven. This will help the salmon cook evenly.
  • Season the salmon. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or dill.
  • Cook the salmon skin-side down. This will help the skin crisp up and the flesh will stay moist.
